No, not recently.... I'm in the Cheshire County, the county most south-west to the state (so relatively, I'm not too far, but I don't no any time I'll end up there....)

Yessir. Born in Lisbon, son of a Portuguese man and a mostly French mother.

I can list the 10 different bloods that inhabit my body from only 3 generations, if you want.

I asked because you have an impressive command of the English language for somebody whose native tongue is not English, and also because your website isn't written in Portuguese.

Though, I might just be exhibiting the ignorant American in me; it's a near universal truth in this country that students aren't well educated (or don't care) as far as contemporary countries are concerned. How did you come to learn English?

Started alone because of video games (age 4) and TV movies/series/cartoons. Portugal was one of the few countries that in the 90s still didn't dub cartoons. Portugal is also very turned towards to the American and British media, so everything came here untranslated, with subtitles. Sometimes it didn't even have any, as we got Cartoon Network without any subtitles at all. You can't imagine how that helps.Today, it's becoming just like the rest of Europe and cartoons are getting dubbed (LAMELY, on top of that). Cartoons, as in, the little cartoons that are left, since now it's apparently a fad to eliminate the childhood part of childhood and spring babies directly into teens with stupid (horribly dubbed) teen shows. I can see the difference in the kids' English.

It is also part of the education to have English classes from first grade (6 years old) until the 11th grade (12th if you're in the Humanities course). Well, it was like that when I was in school, I'm not sure how it is now. That helped as well.

The third and most important thing was my exposure to the internet. I think I started at 11 or a bit sooner, and being exposed to most stuff in English also played an important role (because at the time it was also the most common language on the web, at least associated to whatever I was trying to find information about).

To top it off, I graduated in American languages, literature and culture some years ago (American as in, North America, not only the U.S. xD). My mother's eclectic blood always helped us stay in touch with foreigners she knew or came to meet, and I always felt more connected to the English language and any outside world than my own country. xD

It is very hard for me to create something written in Portuguese, for example, since it either sounds lame or childish to me. I tried starting a comic opera in Portuguese, but I soon turned it into English because I was getting disgusted.

It's just not my vibe. I don't like anything here, not even the mindset. Every known Portuguese artist has started by leaving the country, which is what I intend to do anyway because everything is mediocre around here. I wouldn't mind the mediocrity AROUND me as long as I could strive for something higher myself, but there isn't even that enthusiastic delivery of one's self into what one is working on. People are too contained, never spontaneous, and that's a nightmare for me since I can't get decent help from anyone. I've tried for years now.

I have lived in California all of my life.but have moved into many different parts of it. I currently live in Murrieta Cal. and spent 10 years before that in French valley Cal. Then two years in a trash can next to a Wallmart,I'm just kidding by the way.Lastly from my earliest memories I remember living in the Torrance area.

I have only been out of state a few times in the past for vacations like; Chicago,Louisiana,Texas, and Wisconsin. I have yet to venture out to another county like our Canadian leader in Canada.

I suppose I forgot to make mention in the official topic that I'm currently in Michigan, United States and will be for the better part of the next four years. Woo.

All the way in a small city in Texas called El Paso. I am currently attending an awesome school that's filled with people whom I can't describe nicely and people who kick butt at competitions and sports.
